School Days

It is still hard for me to believe, but we have a preschooler in the house! Natalie started attending preschool at the beginning of September. So far, so good! She goes three times a week for a couple of hours in the afternoon. Thankfully, it is just a minute down the road- literally, I timed it the other day. :) I am so glad that my sister-in-law, Shally, suggested that we pick a place close by since preschool isn't very long. I don't think I would have stopped to take that in to consideration.

Here are some pics from her first day...

 So happy that we were about to head out the door. We did make a pit stop at Culver's for lunch with Nana. :)

 Heading in to school. She is in the "Orange" class so all the kids have orange bags instead of bringing backpacks.

Holding up her name tag before sticking it in the mailbox- that is how they take attendance. 

She enjoyed her first field trip to the Super Bee Apple Orchard last week. The class picked apples, tasted cider and saw how all the apples were cleaned and sorted. She was a little disappointed that she didn't get to ride in a school bus- the parents caravan the kids to the location. I suppose that gives her something to look forward to in kindergarten.

Monday is "Messy Art Day", Wednesday is Bible story day and Friday's they have a cooking class. She has made apple turnovers and apple muffins. So far she has preferred cooking the treats to the actual eating of treats. The apple turnover was not her thing, but she did eat the muffin.

I said it at the beginning of the post and I'll say it again, I can't believe we have a preschooler. That's probably because I still think of Natalie like this...
